Graphite Design BB7 vs. Speeder 7.2 TS

BearQ · November 21, 2015

Wondering if any guys here have tried the two shafts in the title. I really just want to know which one feels smoother. I've hit the 7.2 TS X and it was everything I want, but felt boardy and tough to hit anything but full throttle. Does the BB7 play super smooth like other GD shafts? I've heard due to its very stiff tip it is slightly boardy too, but a lot less so than the Speeder. Also, if anyone could recommend any other shafts in the low 70g X range that play similarly to the two shafts mentioned.

Thanks in advance!

Fuji tour specs feel boardy to me as well but they flat out perform in the correct hands..the BB is pretty similar just really not a fan of graphite design..I'm impressed by the Attas series but they are kinda hard to fit and require the correct tipping to get the bend/dispersion you are needing. My advise to anyone wanting to experiment is to look on ebay for rbz/sldr graphic shafts that are usually cheaper than the OEM graphics and a lot better investment if you hate the shaft..

Speeders get results but the ADBB is sooo much smoother it just depends what you are wanting from the shaft

I've played both (and still own both) the BB 6x and TS 6.2x in my 910 D3, the TS 6.2x is smooth, and nice ball flight, but the BB 6x to me is the best fit.. loads well, and just holds the line I start the ball on. Both were purchased from Titleist and both tipped 1/2".. based on my CPM machine readings they are almost the same flex ..(268 vs. 270). Although the OP was asking about these in 7x I do use the BB 7x in my fairway woods and they have a great flight and feel.

Here's a good comparison of the Graphite Design line of shaft.. kind of boring for the first 2 minutes, but then get's down to the comparisons.

I tried out the BB 7x, and hated it from the first swing. It felt great, but did not perform for me, up to expectations and feel. Can not explain it, but it was a short experiment.

Starting at 5:28, the BB 7x....exactly like I felt. It had a different feel, a different kick point. Something was way different to me, even if the bend profile might look like an exact overlay, it was far from it in the feel department.

P9003... Performance of the .2 tour spec (probably better) but smooth like the Blue Bullet. I had a few BB's and they always played soft and spun too much. The .2 tour spec performs well but left something to be desired in the feel department. Then I found the P9003 and haven't hit anything remotely close to it except for possibly the Kiyo black.
